ICT Prep-Games

We all know about games. Now, there are so many ways you can play them (consoles,mobiles,computers). All of these possible ways of playing games are popular with people from all age groups. I will be explaining what sort of games you can play on each of the things that I listed above, how the gaming industry has changed, what has happened in recent months and why I think this is important and interesting.

On your phones there are a variety of ways you can get games. The most popular is the app store. The most popular game at the moment and it has been for a long time is Angry Birds. Every day people spend 200 million minutes per day and 16 years every hour playing this game. This proves how many people enjoy these games (David Cameron and Justin Bieber have admitted to playing this game.)Most of the games on mobiles are addictive and fun. Many new versions of Angry Birds are coming out and they are being sold rapidly.

Consoles such as the PS3 and XBOX 360 are making tons of people going into gaming because of these. Many people are posting videos of themselves doing cool things in the games and many people have made a lot of money by doing this. As a PS3 game costs £50 it shows how much technology has gone into these games. Recent games that have come out are Crysis 2 and Homefront.

On your laptop you can get games just like the consoles but you can also get older games and play games on gaming websites. The computer is behind the PS3 in terms of graphics and gameplay but the games are cheaper so that is a bonus.

I think that the games industry is besoming very popular as better quality games are being produced. It is very interesting how the games have developed so much within a few years. Games are now taking up a lot of  time fro people's lives but unfortunately some of these games are becoming an addiction and for some people they play the games for nearly all of the day and are not going outside to get fit.

This is a remix done in 2009 by DJ Earworm. It features most of the popular music in 2009. It has been very popular on youtube and I think he has done a 2010 one but I haven't seen it yet.

 I know of many Youtube people who have posted Fifa 11 goals and Call of Duty Final Killcams taken down because the music they used was not allowed to be used. I have also heard of a person who made a video of Bill O'Reilly melting down on Inside Edition and it had a remix on it and then somebody reported him for copyright and as it was the third time that this has happened his account was terminated.
